Sanford had audultery in his heart

Didn't some other politician from the South say that, too? 


CHARLESTON, S.C. — Governor Mark Sanfordsaid that he had visited with his Argentine mistress more times than he initially disclosed and that he had had inappropriate flirtations with several other women as well.

Governor Sanford said today at his Statehouse office that those flirtations had “crossed the line” and that he had let his “guard down” by engaging in some physical contact with a woman other than his wife, Jenny Sanford. He admitted to a sexual relationship he began last year with María Belén Chapur, an Argentine woman. He suggested those other  flirtations did not result in 'booty calls.'

Sanford concluded the interview by asking that any further questions about his escpades should be referred to his politcal advisors, David Vitter and Newt Gingrich.

Al Franken wins the 60th Democratic senate seat

The Supreme Court of Minnesota has ruled that a vacant senate seat should be granted to Al Franken, a Democrat, more than seven months after the US elections. Franken, who is also a popular comedian and author, was granted the seat over Norm Coleman, the Republican incumbent, by the court on Tuesday. "Al Franken received the highest number of votes legally cast and is entitled under Minnesota statute... to receive the certificate of election as United States senator from the State of Minnesota," the court ruling said. Tim Pawlenty, the Minnesota governor and a Republican, is now expected to formally grant the senate seat to Franken. Legal battle Franken had been engaged in a months-long legal fight over the validity of the November 4 election. A series of recounts in the state gave him a victory of just 312 votes over Coleman, prompting the Republican to challenge the accuracy of the recount. Coleman has the option to appeal the decision to the US supreme court. Should Franken be seated, Democrats would possess the 60 senate votes needed to prevent opponents from forcing a filibuster, a tactic which delays the passage of legislation through parliament through the method of protracted debate. Further control of the senate would give Barack Obama, the US president, increased power to advance his legislative agenda. The Democrats already have a strong majority in the House of Representatives, the lower house of the US  legislature.
